The group disclosed this at a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, on the recent announcement of fuel subsidy removal by President Bola Tinubu.
“The same political elites who are responsible for the mishandling of the economy and national assets are selling us the antidote of subsidy withdrawal. We believe that the political elite, which mishandled and ruined the economy, is not in the greatest position to advise the people on how to go ahead.”
The group rejected those, it said, have turned the state into their fiefdom being the ones to tell Nigerians how they must make sacrifices for a turnaround in the country’s economic fortunes and stability, explaining he that “they must first demand that political office holders who are asking the rest of the public to sacrifice, demonstrate what sacrifices they have made to contribute to the country’s economic stability.
Zikirullahi urges Tinubu, and his Vice Kashim Shettima to disclose their assets publicly as soon as possible for openness, probity, and accountability. “CHRICED urges President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima to disclose their assets publicly as soon as possible for openness, probity, and accountability.
